The rapid growth of smart phones and internet give greater access in selling and purchasing merchandise with convenience. Tourism industry too has the major benefits by e commerce in the last couple of years, but not to the optimum. Brand awareness and target audience has been created with this.

Giving devotees a safe and quick reach to their favorite god Balaji…where no other brand has done this before. Online tickets are available for this. IndiGo would provide connecting flights from Tirupati and Rajahmundry to various domestic as well as international destinations, including Singapore and Dubai. The no-frills airline is adding 63 new connections to connect Tirupati and Rajahmundry on its existing network of Airbus 320 planes and ATRs. IndiGo will connect Tirupati and Rajahmundry to Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Dubai, and Muscat, Singapore among other cities via Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai and Mangalore," it said in a release. Currently, the carrier operates more than 900 daily flights connecting 46 destinations. Indigo’s Chief Commercial Officer Sanjay Kumar said the airline is looking at providing affordable fares on these flights for 6E travelers. Earlier this month, the carrier said it would start operations with 74-seater ATR turbo-prop planes from December 21.IndiGo's A320 planes are configured with 180 seats and the A320 neo aircraft have 186 seats. Indigo has forayed into regional markets with a new fleet of ATR aircraft.ATR is an aircraft manufacturer, which is primarily into building regional aircraft. Announcing addition of ATR aircraft to its fleet will operate 24 non-stop daily flights. The airline said it will begin ATR operations with flights between cities on its existing network of Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Mangalore, Madurai and Nagpur and two new Tier-II cities of Tirupati and Rajahmundry. While the introductory fares start from Rs. 999 on the new flights, the first ATR flight will commence from Hyderabad on December 21, 2017.
